• ucfirst() – Make a string’s first character uppercase
• lcfirst() – Make a string’s first character lowercase
• strtolower() – Make a string lowercase
• strtoupper() – Make a string uppercase
• ucwords() – Uppercase the first character of each word in a string

From the looks of things, ucfirst() was coined from it’s function uppercase first letter (unlike some functions!). So goes for lcfirst() and ucwords(): lowercase first letter and uppercase first letter of each word. strtolower() lowercases every letter in every word in a string and strupper() functions in opposite, uppercases each letter in every word in a string.

ucfirst() examples:

<?php
$foo = 'hello world!';
$foo = ucfirst($foo); // Hello world!

$bar = 'HELLO WORLD!';
$bar = ucfirst($bar); // HELLO WORLD!
$bar = ucfirst(strtolower($bar)); // Hello world!
?>

lcfirst() examples:

<?php
$foo = 'HelloWorld';
$foo = lcfirst($foo); // helloWorld


$bar = 'HELLO WORLD!';
$bar = lcfirst($bar); // hELLO WORLD!
$bar = lcfirst(strtoupper($bar)); // hELLO WORLD!
?>

strtolower() examples:

<?php
$str = "Mary Had A Little Lamb and She LOVED It So";
$str = strtolower($str);
echo $str; // Prints mary had a little lamb and she loved it so
?>

strtoupper() examples:

<?php
$str = "Mary Had A Little Lamb and She LOVED It So";
$str = strtoupper($str);
echo $str; // Prints MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB AND SHE LOVED IT SO
?>

ucwords() examples:


<?php
$foo = 'hello world!';
$foo = ucwords($foo); // Hello World!


$bar = 'HELLO WORLD!';
$bar = ucwords($bar); // HELLO WORLD!
$bar = ucwords(strtolower($bar)); // Hello World!
?>

• ceil() – Round fractions up
• floor() – Round fractions down
• round() – Rounds a float

I’m guessing ceil() is short for ceiling. When looking up, you have a ceiling whereas when looking down, you have a floor(). The functions’ names correspond to their actual function which makes it pretty easy to remember. And then we also have round which is just basic rounding.

ceil() examples:

<?php
echo ceil(4.3); // 5
echo ceil(9.999); // 10
echo ceil(-3.14); // -3
?>

floor() examples:

<?php
echo floor(4.3); // 4
echo floor(9.999); // 9
echo floor(-3.14); // -4
?>

round() examples:

<?php
echo round(3.4); // 3
echo round(3.5); // 4
echo round(3.6); // 4
echo round(3.6, 0); // 4
echo round(1.95583, 2); // 1.96
echo round(1241757, -3); // 1242000
echo round(5.045, 2); // 5.05
echo round(5.055, 2); // 5.06
?>
<?php
echo round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP); // 10
echo round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN); // 9
echo round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN); // 10
echo round(9.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD); // 9echo round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP); // 9
echo round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN); // 8
echo round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN); // 8
echo round(8.5, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD); // 9
?>

To fix this:

1. Go to your Steam (not the game, just Steam) and go to the My Games tab.
2. Right click on Counter-Strike and go click Properties.
3. A new box should pop up. Now click Set launch options…

5. Launch Counter-Strike normally, and enjoy!

Here are PhpMyAdmin instructions:

1. Select the table wp_conhnp_options in your Wordpress database.
2. Click the Search tab.
3. Below, look for option_name and in the corresponding text field, type in: upload_path
   and then click Go.
4. You should  now see one record/row, click the little pencil on the left of the red x to edit.
5. Now update your old absolute path with your new absolute path and be sure that it points to the uploads folder: /home/public_html/dougymak.com/wp-content/uploads
6. Be sure to click Go before exiting and then check if everything’s running smoothly.

Thinking from a consumer’s point of view. If I wanted to buy something, I wouldn’t go to Facebook to find ads for my purchase. I would use a search engine instead. There’s absolutely no reason for me to even touch those ads. However, on rare occasions, an ad would catch my eye and I would click on the ad to see what is it about, but I would never buy something through Facebook ads just because that’s me. On the other hand, I normally would ignore most ads whether it is on Facebook or not, but I do enjoy analyzing some them and figuring out it’s target audience.

1. Type about:config in Firefox location bar and press Enter
2. Type keyword.URL in Filter textbox to find keyword.URL.
3. Double-click on keyword.URL and change the value to: http://www.google.com/search?q=

Also, you can change it to Google’s I’m Feeling Lucky search- just use: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=

That’s it! Now give it a test drive!
